CALLICOON – The Homestead School is excited to host its inaugural Garden of Growth Gala on Thursday, June 5, from 6 to 9 p.m. at Seminary Hill, 43 Wagner Lane, Callicoon.

Tickets:

• $100 per person. Tickets are available now at https://go.rallyup.com/homesteadgala. Early registration is encouraged as space is limited.

This meaningful evening will raise funds to support student scholarships, financial aid, and the continued growth of Homestead School’s inclusive, hands-on educational programs.

This special event invites families, alumni, local businesses, and supporters to celebrate a shared commitment to equitable, student-centered learning. 

The Garden of Growth Gala promises an evening filled with music, gourmet hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction, and a recognition ceremony honoring individuals who have positively impacted our local community, Aileen Gunther and Marisa Scheinfeld.

All proceeds from the Gala will directly support student scholarships and financial aid programs, making it possible for more families to access the school’s unique approach to education — one that honors the individual student through inclusive classrooms, farm-based learning, and real-world impact projects that develop compassionate, capable changemakers.

In addition to attending, sponsorship opportunities are available for individuals, businesses, and organizations who wish to support Homestead School’s vision for a more sustainable, equitable, and engaged educational future. Sponsors will receive recognition during the event, on the school’s website, and in printed materials.

Event Highlights Include:

• Cocktail hour with music

• Locally inspired hors d’oeuvres, dessert, and refreshments

• Silent auction featuring curated experiences and items from local artisans and businesses
